Abstract

In this note we show that the representation of the additive group of the Hilbert space L2([0,1],R)L^2([0,1],\R) on L2([0,1],\C)L^2([0,1],\C) given by the multiplication operators π(f):=eif\pi(f) := e^{if} is continuous but its space of smooth vectors is trivial. This example shows that a continuous unitary representation of an infinite dimensional Lie group need not be smooth.
